Vnx-install-root fs

All root filesystems but Fedora and CentOS ones have a "root" and a "vnx" account with password "xxxx". Fedora and CentOS systems have password "xxxxxx" (a minimum of six chars are needed in this case).

Downloading instructions

The tool will show you the root filesystems available and allow to choose the ones you want to download and install.

Use '-p string' option to show only the root filesystems with 'string' in their name. For example, to see lxc root filesystems type: vnx_download_rootfs -p lxc

Use '-s' option to just show the root filesystems available in VNX repository and exit.

Use '-l' option if you want the tool to create the 'rootfs_*' soft links used by VNX example scenarios.

Use '-r <rootfsfilename>' if you want to download a specific root filesystem in no interactive way.

Download them manually form the VNX repository.

To uncompress a KVM rootfs use:

bunzip2 vnx_rootfs_kvm_...

To uncompress an LXC rootfs use:

tar --numeric-owner -xzpf vnx_rootfs_lxc_...

IMPORTANT: KVM root filesystems are not updated any time VNX version changes. So, after download and install a rootfs, it is highly recomended to update the VNXACE daemon following the procedure described here.
